“I think that a case can already be made that 2021, an outstanding vintage that will go down in history as one of the all-time greats for the Langhe, is actually even better in Barbaresco than in Barolo.” - Ian d’Agata

Decanter: “From the warm, southwest-exposed vineyards along one of Barbaresco’s most revered ridges, the 2021 echoes the complexity of soil and nuances of terrain with the resolute backbone this site is notorious for. With coaxing, it becomes rather evocatively scented. Sweet herbs and juniper emerge, followed by orange and baking spice, yet the austere palate still needs to catch up. All is simmering at the intense red berry core, while well-toned, muscular tannins provide plenty to chew on. These are stony and finessed but will require time. Mouthwatering and long on the finish. Drink 2029-2043.” 97 points

JancisRobinson.com: “Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Savoury and minerally on the nose with slumbering rich cherry fruit and hints of cinnamon bark. Subdued complexity that demands more time in bottle to fully come out. Supple and juicy yet tight and closed on the palate. Bags of chalky tannins that are perfectly integrated in the fruit, yet this is far from ready. Drink 2030-2046.” 17.5 points
